I am seeking opportunities to share my talent with online and manufacturer Design Teams and in publications such as idea books and magazines. I am always interested in working on special projects and assignments.
Styles and Techniques
I would describe my style as Whimsical with a touch of Shabby Chic. Typically I work with 12x12, one and two page layouts as well as creating mini-albums, altered items and cards. I love to use new products and techniques. I continuously challenge myself to think outside of the box. I have 10 years of scrapbook/designing experience.
Teaching Experience
I teach several scrapbook/papercrafting classes monthly for Lasting Legacy in Lexington, KY.
I have written tutorials for various publications including Scrapbook, News, & Review and Scrapbooking.com.

Other
Spending time scrapbooking is something I thoroughly enjoy. I began scrapbooking 10 years ago. I am active on many scrapbook sites and enjoy sharing my love of scrapbooking with others. The main focus of my work includes my five children, my dear husband, and our wonderfully supportive family. Working under pressure and with short deadlines is no problem for me. I especially enjoy special assignments and challenges. I value and take great pride in all that I create. I have taught various scrapbook classes and designed projects with detailed instructions for Michaels.com. I look forward to many scrapbook challenges ahead.
